The Michigan Absentee Ballot is NOT a Problem

Thanks to one well-linked LiveJournal post, everybody’s in an uproar thinking that there’s going to be a pile of ballot fraud and problems with Michigan’s presidential election because of this mis-print (and it was a mis-print, not some vast conspiracy). People need to calm down, as only about 69 of those ballots were printed, and they’ve since been replaced. Heck, even the person that originally noticed the mistake and gave it to her friend (who then posted it on LJ) didn’t want it blown out of proportion.

Take a deep breath, everybody. Besides, if somebody was going to fix the election, do you think they’d use obvious method like this?
